Despite concerns from fans about the health of forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, who had not resumed training since his lower-body injury sustained against the Boston Bruins on November 18th, the Quebec native was back on the ice this morning.
It was high time for an official update on the 24-year-old forward, who played a significant role in the team's success last year. Despite some challenges this season, the seventh-round pick in 2019 has still managed to tally four assists, bringing his career total to 25 points in 51 games.
Certainly, his return to play will greatly benefit Martin St-Louis' lineup, which is currently struggling to field 12 forwards in uniform.
